Description

Catalinbread Sft Ampeg-Inspired Overdrive Effects Pedal Metallic Sapphire is more than just an overdrive pedal. It's an audio time machine, faithfully reproducing the iconic sounds of the 1960s and 2000s. This pedal takes you on a sonic journey, from the jangly Ampeg-driven tones of Keith Richard's '69 era to the raw, dirt-filled vibes of late '90s to mid-2000s desert rock.

The secret to its versatility lies in its unique Stones/Stoner button, which allows for a Jekyll and Hyde-like transformation of your sound. The Treble, Bass, Volume, and Gain knobs give you complete control over your tone, while your guitar's onboard controls can further shape the sound. The SFT doesn't just replicate the past, it encourages you to explore and create your own unique tones.

Designed by the music-obsessed team at Catalinbread, the SFT is an example of their commitment to create gear that inspires and excites musicians. They're not just following trends, they're creating them, and the SFT is a product that stands out in a crowded market.
